  • "Considering all the benefits we've observed, we find the price to be satisfactory."
  • "It is not cheap, but it is worth it."
  • "I find the pricing to be reasonable."
  • "If the pricing for the Infinity platform covers everything, it would be more straightforward. I had a hard time selling it to our CEO as a former CFO because of the differentials. There are different deltas year to year over a five-year period. It is very difficult to explain. It would be easier to digest for our executives if there was a flatter scale"

  • "I haven't had to pay anything for GitHub, I use the free version."
